Chapter 946: I Withdraw the Army

Zhao Quan was captured, Yu Linwei and Jin Wuwei also arrived one after another, and I replied that I couldn't do anything, so I had to hurriedly withdraw from the imperial city by the same way, and led more than a thousand remnants of soldiers to Fuchengmen. Song Qi, the eunuch of the Dare Battalion Prison Army, tried to lead the army to resist, but the number of each other was equal, how could the more than 1,000 infantry of the Dare Battalion be the opponent of the Tartar cavalry, let alone a Tartar cavalry who was eager to escape!

Therefore, when Xu Jinqin led the pursuers to Fuchengmen, I had already broken through the door, leaving only messy corpses on the ground and wounded soldiers wailing in pain. The prison soldier Song Qi trembled and ran to Xu Jin to plead guilty, knocking his forehead open, and blood poured out.

Let me answer that the big fish escaped, Xu Jin was naturally quite annoyed, but seeing the old eunuch in his sixties kneeling in the wind and shivering, kowtowing and bleeding all over his face, he couldn't bear to be too reprimanded, after all, when the number was equal, the combat power of the Dare Yong Battalion was too far behind the Tartar cavalry, and whoever led it was estimated that the result would be about the same.

Got rid of the old eunuch Song Qi, Xu Jin hurriedly climbed the head of the city of Fucheng Gate to look, at this time it was almost the end of the day, the north wind on the city head, the cold eroded the bones, the black Yue Yue outside the city, but saw a cavalry of about 1,000 people was galloping around the city, running in the direction of Guangning Gate, obviously it was the remnants of the army who had just broken through the door.

Seeing this, Xu Jin couldn't help but sigh secretly, I replied that he was so famous in history, he was really not a mediocre lord, he didn't run away at this time, but calmly ran to Guangning Gate, obviously to join the tens of thousands of Tatar cavalry in the outer city.

Don't forget, although Xu Jin's plan to invite the king into the urn deceived more than 10,000 Tartar cavalry into entering the inner city, there are at least 50,000 Tatar cavalry outside the Xuanwu Gate, so I Da's losses tonight are undoubtedly huge, but it has not yet reached the point of breaking my muscles and bones, at least with Xu Jin's current strength, before Wang Shouren's arrival, he did not dare to open the city and engage me in a head-on battle.

Xu Jin originally thought that I would panic in order to escape, so that he could send the Shenji Battalion out of the city to chase and kill all the way, but now that I ran to meet the army under his command, there was no way.

Therefore, Xu Jin could only order the closure of Fuchengmen, re-strengthen the city defenses, and send additional personnel to defend them, and then focus on exterminating the trapped Tartar cavalry in Xuanwumenli Street.

At about dawn, the battle in the area of Xuanwumen was finally over, and the trapped Tartars were either annihilated or captured, and no one escaped the net.

In the cheers of Wansheng, Xu Jin stepped on the blood all over the ground, and climbed the head of the Xuanwu Gate in the dawn wind.

The six days of the sixth day of the sixth month of the first month of the fourth year of Jiajing are destined to go down in history, and after this battle, it is more confirmed that Xu Jin's name of constant victory is confirmed, and it is conceivable that Xu Jin's prestige in the military ~ political circles will be as high as the sky.

"See the big handsome!" Wang Lin'er, Yu Linsheng and other soldiers greeted them and saluted on one knee.

Looking at the group of bloodied and exhausted soldiers in front of him, Xu Jin couldn't help but be moved, nodded and said, "Get up, you generals have worked hard, how about the casualties of the brothers?" ”

As soon as Xu Jin came up, he didn't ask about the battle results first, but asked about the casualties of the brothers, and all the soldiers couldn't help but feel warm in their hearts, especially the soldiers of the Xianwu Battalion and the Lianwu Battalion, their eyes were red, last night's battle, they were responsible for defending the Xuanwu Gate, and the casualties were the largest, almost one-third of the casualties.

Wang Lin'er replied: "Back to the commander, in the battle last night, our side killed a total of 2,312 soldiers, and nearly 3,000 were wounded, of which 308 were seriously wounded. ”

Xu Jin couldn't help frowning, in the case of an ambush, the casualties of the Ming army were so large, if the battle was fought in a dignified and upright way, the result could be imagined, it seems that the flintlock pistol must be popularized as soon as possible, otherwise it is almost impossible to destroy the Tatars.

"The wounded must be treated as soon as possible, as for the pension of the dead and wounded, the commander will be implemented within five days, but the rewards of your soldiers will be able to be slowly cashed in the future, on the occasion of this national disaster, this commander and all the soldiers will encourage you to drive out the Tartars and restore the prestige of the Ming Dynasty!" Xu Jin said in a deep voice.

This time, I answered from killing Hukou to the capital, and even broke through the outer city, burning, killing and looting, the losses brought to the Ming Dynasty were immeasurable, and finally even if the Tartars were completely repulsed, it would be difficult to fully recover in a few years, and the financial constraints were certain.

"We are willing to work with the commander to drive out the Tartars and restore my Ming national prestige!" The soldiers said impassionedly.

"Daming Wansheng! My Emperor Wansheng!! Xu Jin raised his arms and shouted.

"Daming Wansheng! My Emperor Wansheng!! A group of soldiers raised their arms and shouted, and the shouts went straight into the sky, and their morale was strong.

Xu Jin smiled slightly, and then asked Wang Lin'er, "How was the record last night?" ”

Wang Lin'er said with a spring breeze on his face: "Back to Dashuai, last night's battle killed a total of 7,417 Tartars, captured 1,700 people, captured more than 5,300 war horses, and nearly 8,000 weapons!" ”

As soon as Wang Lin'er's words fell, there was another cheer of victory, this was undoubtedly a beautiful victory, and the key was to thwart the enemy's conspiracy and wipe out the traitors in the city.

Next, Xu Jin came to the Xuanwu Gate Tower surrounded by the generals, at this time, the Tartars of the outer city had stopped attacking, and they were still withdrawing from the outer city one after another, and stationed their tents outside the Guangning Gate in the outer city.

Yu Linsheng licked ~ ~ licked his lips that were blown dry by the northwest wind, and proposed: "Dashuai, I promised to be in the dashuai's plan to invite you into the urn last night, and suffered heavy losses, although he himself escaped death, hey, it is estimated that this will already be scared to pee, eight ~ nine times out of ten are ready to smear oil under the soles of their feet, camping outside the Guangning Gate is just a faΓ§ade to deceive us, if we take the initiative at this time, we will definitely receive miraculous results." ”

When all the soldiers heard this, they all felt reasonable, and they asked Xu Jin to fight, even the generals of the Xianwu Battalion and the Lianwu Battalion were no exception, it seems that last night's victory really made them bold, this is a good phenomenon!

However, will I really be scared to pee?

Xu Jin naturally didn't believe it, this guy dared to turn his head and enter the imperial city when he was fleeing for his life, and almost turned defeat into victory, will such a brave wolf be scared to pee?

Therefore, Xu Jin seriously suspected that I was luring himself out of the city to pursue after the withdrawal from the outer city at this time, after last night's crisis in Cining Palace, Xu Jin had to be cautious, and Lao Wang was about to arrive with a large army, so there was really no need to be greedy at this time!

Taking a step back, even if I am really ready to slip away, there are fifty or sixty thousand cavalry under his command, and with the comprehensive combat effectiveness of the Ming army in the city, he will go out of the city to fight against the Tartars, without the protection of the city wall, and the probability of being beaten by others to cry and cry for his mother is even greater.

Of course, Xu Jin was not good at pouring cold water on everyone and dampening the enthusiasm of the soldiers, so he smiled and said: "The soldiers and brothers have fought fiercely all night, and they are already exhausted. ”

As soon as Xu Jin finished speaking, a bell rang from the imperial city, which was the bell that summoned the ministers to the court. Before the bell stopped, I saw the eunuch Huang Jin's fart running up to the city tower and said to Xu Jin: "Lord Xu, the emperor has summoned you." ”

Huang Jin personally put Lu Bing on death row last night, and led someone to copy the Lu family, and the revenge was avenged, and he was in a good mood.

"This official will be here soon!" Xu nodded, the city was initially decided, and it was time to liquidate.

Xu Jin gave a few more instructions to the generals, then got off the head of the Xuanwu Gate and hurried to the imperial city.

At this time, the imperial city of Zuo'anmen was already overcrowded, all of them rushed to participate in the early dynasty officials, most of them came at dawn, aware that the situation was stable, and these people like Xia Yan Xu Jie came to Zuo'anmen to inquire about the news when the situation was unclear last night.

The court officials had different expressions, and they gathered in groups to discuss in a low voice, asking each other for news, and the former upstart celebrities Zhang Xuan and Gui Cao looked lonely in the crowd at the moment.

It turned out that the news of Guo Xun, Zhang Lun, Tang Shaozong and Lu Bing's rebellion last night had spread, and Guo Xun and Zhang Xuan had a close relationship with the Manchu Dynasty.

Zhang Xuan's face was calm, standing in place and not knowing what he was thinking, Gui Cao and Yan Song obviously looked uneasy, and those upstart factions who had participated in the impeachment of Xu Jin were all worried in their hearts. Xu Jin, who was almost killed by them not long ago, is about to return to the court strongly, can they not be worried?

Dangdangdang......

The bell rang, Zuo'anmen slowly opened, and a group of ministers lined up to enter and go to Fengtianmen to participate in the early dynasty.

At this moment, in the outer city, the Tartars were withdrawing from Guangning Gate unhurriedly, and they did not see the Ming army in the city taking the opportunity to chase them out, and they couldn't help but be disappointed.

As Xu Jin expected, I answered and pretended to withdraw from the outer city, the purpose was to lead the defenders in the city out of the city to pursue, and then counter the army, but unfortunately, my attempt failed, and Xu Jin did not fall for him at all.

Seeing that the Ming army was not fooled, I couldn't help but scold Xu Jin for being insidious and cunning, cowardly as a mouse, but it was useless, and finally I had to order a retreat in the direction of Liangxiang, this time it was a real retreat!

I answered that this time to the south led a total of 100,000 troops, although all the way to the ground, and even broke through the outer city of the Ming capital, but he only had less than 60,000 troops left, the loss is not heavy, seeing that the Ming army's 250,000 Qinwang soldiers and horses are about to arrive, he will naturally not be stupid enough to continue to stay, and five or six times the strength of the force, retreat is his only choice.
